LogosLine artScansWhiteboardsComicsDiagramsStickersPhoto edges
Lineart and ink

Choose “Lineart - Accurate” for crisp strokes and clean fills. Lower curve tolerance for detail, raise turd size to kill dust.

Logos and icons

Use “Logo - Clean shapes” for smoother curves and fewer nodes. Adjust threshold to control what becomes solid.

How to convert an image to SVG

Fast path: upload → preset → tweak → export
  1. 1
    Upload a supported image
    Drag and drop or use the picker. Oversized raster files may be compressed on your device before backend conversion when that can preserve a usable result.
  2. 2
    Pick a preset that matches your art
    Lineart for inks, Logo for clean shapes, Photo Edge for contour extraction.
  3. 3
    Adjust settings
    Tune threshold, curve tolerance, turd size, and turn policy. Advanced setting changes update locally until you click Convert or Update preview.
  4. 4
    Choose line color and background
    Keep transparency or inject a solid background color. Invert when needed.
  5. 5
    Download or copy SVG
    Export a scalable vector you can edit, recolor, and embed anywhere.

Settings explained

Small tweaks make a huge difference. Use these to control detail, smoothness, and cleanup.

Preprocess

None for logos and crisp inks. Edge mode for photos and paintings when you want outlines.

Threshold

Controls what counts as ink. Higher includes lighter pixels, lower keeps only darker strokes.

Curve tolerance

Lower preserves detail. Higher smooths curves and reduces SVG size.

Turd size

Removes tiny specks and scanner dust so your SVG looks intentional.

Turn policy

Decides how ambiguous corners resolve. Useful when corners look “wrong” in the trace.

Line color, invert, background

Pick any line color. Invert for white ink. Keep transparency or add a solid background.

Edge boost and blur σ

In Edge mode: blur reduces noise; edge boost amplifies contours before tracing.

Server stability

This SVG converter only rate limits backend raster tracing and server-side conversion work. Preview rendering, copy, local download generation, and setting changes that only update React state are not rate limited.

Backend conversions allow up to 120 conversions per minute, 400 conversions every 5 minutes, 1500 conversions per hour, and 3000 conversions per day for the same connection and browser profile.

Troubleshooting and tips

Image too large

Downscale or crop unused borders.

Over 25 MB

We try to compress locally. If it fails, resize and re-upload.

429 server busy

Backend conversion limit or concurrency protection. Wait for the Retry-After time, then try again.

Blank or too light

Lower threshold or disable invert.

Jagged edges

Increase curve tolerance slightly.

Too many dots

Raise turd size or try Scan Cleanup presets.

Image to SVG vectorizer

Free SVG converter for PNG, JPG, WebP, logos, scans, and creator artwork

Use the home converter when you want one flexible image-to-SVG workflow with searchable presets, backend speed tags, advanced trace controls, editable layer metadata, output history, copy/download actions, and full-screen preview. Uploaded images are processed for conversion and are not stored after conversion.

Best for

  • General image to SVG searches like png to svg, jpg to svg, convert to svg, and image to svg converter.
  • Creators preparing logos, icons, classroom graphics, Etsy files, stickers, or small-business artwork.
  • Users who want presets first, then advanced controls only when the source image needs cleanup.

Settings to try

  • Start with Lineart - Accurate or Lineart - Bold for simple artwork.
  • Use preset search for Cricut, vinyl, sticker, scan, logo, photo edge, layered, or transparent workflows.
  • Use Live Preview edits for layer styling and Click to Convert settings for threshold, cleanup, trace detail, and layers.

Useful limits

  • Raster-to-SVG tracing is server-assisted and protected by upload, dimension, rate, and concurrency limits.
  • Photos and busy backgrounds may need outline, scan, or cleanup presets instead of a simple trace.
  • No AI background removal is claimed; color and background controls work within the supported SVG/raster pipeline.

Frequently asked questions

What file limits apply?

Supported image uploads are capped at 30 MB, about 30 MP, and 8000 px on the longest side. Larger raster files may be compressed on-device before conversion when possible.

Does this tool have usage limits?

Only backend conversion work is rate limited. Preview rendering, copy, local download generation, and setting changes that only update the current React state are not rate limited because they do not use server conversion compute. Backend conversions, such as raster image tracing, allow up to 120 conversions per minute, 400 conversions every 5 minutes, 1500 conversions per hour, and 3000 conversions per day for the same connection and browser profile.

What happens with files over 25 MB?

The app tries local compression first for oversized raster files. If the image cannot be reduced without too much quality loss, resize or crop it and upload again.

Why do I see “Server busy” with Retry-After?

We cap concurrency to keep the site stable. When the queue is full the server responds 429 with Retry-After, and the app retries automatically.

Can this handle photos?

Yes. Use the Photo Edge presets to extract contours and stylized linework.

Settings reference

Tune SVG tracing without guessing

Use this reference after the basic upload and example sections when you want finer control. Live Preview settings edit the selected SVG result directly. Click to convert settings change how the uploaded image is processed, so they apply after Update preview or Convert.

Preset speed tags

Preset tags estimate backend processing intensity. Lightning Fast and Extreme Speed presets are expected to be the lightest; Low Speed, Slow Speed, Very Slow, and Insanely Slow presets usually request more detail, edge cleanup, larger palettes, or layered color tracing. The tag is informational and does not change the SVG by itself.

Tracing detail

Trace mode

Layered color tracing separates the image into editable SVG color groups. Single-color tracing creates one main path color and is better for line art, silhouettes, and simple cut files.

Color layer count

This controls how many color groups the layered trace tries to create. If your SVG has too few colors, increasing the count from 5 to 8 usually preserves more distinct output colors, but it can also make the SVG larger and more complex.

Trace detail limit

This caps the internal tracing size. Higher values can preserve more detail, while lower values are faster and often cleaner for Cricut-style projects.

Remove small color regions

This filters tiny color areas before they become layers. Raise it when shadows, anti-aliasing, or texture create small pieces you do not want to cut or edit.

Curve smoothing and remove tiny specks

Curve smoothing reduces rough nodes in traced paths. Remove tiny specks filters small fragments. If speckles appear in the trace, increasing speck removal can remove unwanted shapes, but very high values may remove fine details.

Corner handling

Corner handling controls how tracing resolves ambiguous turns. Majority is a good general choice for layered color artwork; other options can change small corner shapes in detailed line art.

Color and cleanup

Simplify colors and color simplification

Simplifying colors groups nearby shades before tracing. Use stronger simplification for stickers, logos, and vinyl. Lower it when the result looks too flat or loses important color changes.

Merge similar colors

Merge tolerance combines near-duplicate output colors. Lower it to preserve more detail. Raise it when gradients or compression noise create too many similar layers.

Layer order

Layer order controls how color groups are stacked in the SVG. Light-to-dark is predictable for previewing, largest-first can make editing broad shapes easier, and palette order follows the generated color palette.

Ignore white areas

Use this when white is just the background canvas. Leave it off when white is part of the artwork, such as eyes, lettering, highlights, or sticker details.

Ignore transparent pixels

This is useful for transparent PNGs because invisible canvas pixels are ignored before tracing. It helps the SVG focus on real artwork.

Brightness and contrast

These change the raster image before tracing. Brightness can bring out faint artwork, while contrast can make color and edge separation stronger.

Input colors vs output colors

Remove detected input colors

Input colors are sampled from the uploaded image before tracing. Removing one changes the next trace. Use this when a background color, watermark, or source color should be ignored before the SVG is generated.

Color tolerance

Tolerance controls how close a pixel must be to a selected input color before it is removed. Low tolerance removes exact colors. Higher tolerance removes nearby anti-aliased shades too.

Apply color removal to

On routes with both single and layered tracing, this chooses whether selected input colors are removed from single traces, layered traces, or both.

Output layer visibility

Output colors come from the actual generated SVG layers. If a cream background appears as an output layer, hide that layer from Layer colors so preview, copy, and download update without retracing.

Layer color editing

Layer color controls edit the current SVG layer fill or stroke. These edits are local to that result and are included when you copy or download the SVG.

Global layer opacity and per-layer opacity

Global layer opacity applies to all layers in the next trace. Per-layer opacity edits only the selected output layer in the current SVG, which is useful for preview, stickers, and visual mockups.

Background, size, and export

Transparent background

Transparent background removes the SVG background rectangle. Use it for Cricut, Silhouette, vinyl, and layered designs where the artwork should not include a canvas.

Background color and opacity

When transparency is off, the background color becomes part of the exported SVG preview. Background opacity only affects the background rectangle, not the traced layers.

SVG width and SVG height

These set the exported SVG dimensions from the current output size. The viewBox remains scalable, so changing dimensions changes how the SVG is presented without throwing away vector detail.

Preserve aspect ratio

When preserve aspect ratio is enabled and you change the width, the height updates automatically. This prevents distorted artwork.

Standard resize options

Use 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, and 2x for quick export sizes. Reset to original returns the current SVG to the dimensions produced by the trace.

Copy SVG and download SVG

Copy and download use the same edited SVG as the preview, including hidden layers, recolored layers, opacity edits, background changes, and size changes.

Practical examples

If the traced SVG has too few colors, raise color layer count or lower merge tolerance. Expect a larger SVG with more editable groups.

If the result looks too flat, lower color simplification or increase the layer count so more source colors survive the trace.

If a cream or white background becomes its own output layer, hide that output layer directly from Layer colors.

If tiny fragments appear, increase Remove tiny specks or Remove small color regions. Use modest values for detailed illustrations.

If preserve aspect ratio is enabled and you change the width, the height updates automatically so the artwork does not stretch.

If you only recolor, hide, resize, or adjust opacity on output layers, copy and download should match the preview without another backend trace.
